PHOTOS: Wolfram Alpha's clever answers

So, what is the meaning of life?

As the Wolfram Alpha "computational search engine" is now up and running after its weekend launch, here at Pocket-lint, we've pretty much spent the whole morning posing puzzlers to the new service.

We've asked why did the chicken cross the road, how many roads must a man walk down and whether or not God exists.

To see the answers to these questions - and more - which goes some way to demonstrate how the new search engine "understands" the context of your enquiry, see below for the image gallery, and let us know any cool questions in the comments box - we'll add good ones to the gallery.

Thanks to Demon Pete and @baby_Twitty for question suggestions.
